[OmniOS-discuss] Upgrade from OpenIndiana to OmniOS?

[Kevin Swab]

Hello,

	We're thinking of making the switch from OpenIndiana to OmniOS. In
order to minimize downtime, we'd like to be able to install OmniOS to an
alternate boot environment, if possible.  I tried (unsuccessfully) to
use a procedure similar to the one outlined on the OpenIndiana wiki for
upgrading OpenSolaris to OpenIndiana:

http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Upgrading+from+OpenSolaris

This is how it went:

# uname -v
oi_151a7
# pkg set-publisher -P -g http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/release/ omnios
# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI

openindiana.org                       origin   online

# pkg update -f --be-name omnios entire at 11-0.151004
Creating Plan
pkg update: The following patterns only matched packages that are from
publishers other than that which supplied the already installed version
of this package
        entire at 11-0.151004: omnios


I get the same results trying "pkg install ..." instead of "pkg update ..."

Is it possible to do this?  If so, what do I need to do?


Thanks for your help,
Kevin
